To complement the business case, a basic use case model, project plan, initial risk assessment and project description (the core project requirements, constraints and key features) are generated. After these are completed, the project is checked against the following criteria:<br />
          <br />
      * Stakeholder concurrence on scope definition and cost/schedule estimates.<br />
      * Requirements understanding as evidenced by the fidelity of the primary use cases.<br />
      * Credibility of the cost/schedule estimates, priorities, risks, and development process.<br />
      * Depth and breadth of any architectural prototype that was developed.<br />
      * Actual expenditures versus planned expenditures.<br />
